Non-neutral vegetation dynamics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2006
The neutral theory of biodiversity constitutes a reference null hypothesis for the interpretation of ecosystem dynamics and produces relatively simple analytical descriptions of basic system properties, which can be easily compared to observations.

Analysis and prediction of vegetation dynamics under the background of climate change in Xinjiang, China [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Background Vegetation dynamics is defined as a significant indictor in regulating terrestrial carbon balance and climate change, and this issue is important for the evaluation of climate change.

Distinguishing Abrupt and Gradual Forest Disturbances With MODIS-Based Phenological Anomaly Series

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Capturing forest disturbances over time is increasingly important to determine the ecosystem's capacity to recover as well as aiding a timely response of foresters.

Modeling demographic-driven vegetation dynamics and ecosystem biogeochemical cycling in NASA GISS's Earth system model (ModelE-BiomeE v.1.0) [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2022
We developed a demographic vegetation model, BiomeE, to improve the modeling of vegetation dynamics and ecosystem biogeochemical cycles in the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies' ModelE Earth system model.

Nitrogen mineralization and gaseous nitrogen losses from waterlogged and drained organic soils in a black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) forest [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
Black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) forests on peat soils have been reported to be hotspots for high nitrous oxide (N2O) losses. High emissions may be attributed to alternating water tables of peatlands and to the incorporation of high amounts of ...

Vegetation Greenness Dynamics in the Western Greater Khingan Range of Northeast China Based on Dendrochronology

Biology, 2022
Understanding the vegetation greenness dynamics in the forest–steppe transition zone is essential for ecosystem management, and in order to study ecological changes in the region. This study provides a valuable record of the vegetation greenness dynamics

Short-term effects of biogas digestate and cattle slurry application on greenhouse gas emissions affected by N availability from grasslands on drained fen peatlands and associated organic soils [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
A change in German energy policy has resulted in a strong increase in the number of biogas plants in Germany. As a consequence, huge amounts of nutrient-rich residues, the by-products of the fermentative process, are used as organic fertilizers.

Late Holocene climate and land-use history in the Mongolian Altai Mountains: Combined evidence from palynological, macro-charcoal and tree-ring analyses

Trees, Forests and People, 2021
The Mongolian Altai is an ecologically sensitive region in Central Asia where changes in climate and anthropogenic activities have a strong impact on the forest-steppe vegetation.

Organizing principles for vegetation dynamics [PDF]

Nature Plants, 2020
Plants and vegetation play a critical-but largely unpredictable-role in global environmental changes due to the multitude of contributing processes at widely different spatial and temporal scales. In this Perspective, we explore approaches to master this complexity and improve our ability to predict vegetation dynamics by explicitly taking account of ...

Interactive impacts of fire and vegetation dynamics on global carbon and water budget using Community Land Model version 4.5 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2019
Fire plays an important role in terrestrial ecosystems. The burning of biomass affects carbon and water fluxes and vegetation distribution. To understand the effect of interactive processes of fire and ecological succession on surface carbon and water ...
